During a routine inspection Wednesday, a health inspector found that the establishment’s only refrigeration unit was not maintaining proper temperatures, according to the Health Department. Two cartons of shelled eggs were also left at room temperature.
The inspector additionally found that the handwashing sink in the business’s mobile unit had no water at the start of the inspection. That issue was corrected on-site, and the water supply was restored.
Before the business can reopen, the department requires it to keep food at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below in its refrigeration unit and store eggs at an ambient air temperature of 45 degrees or below.
The business must also ensure its handwashing sink remains operational and has an adequate supply of water, hand soap and single-use paper towels.
The department scheduled a follow-up inspection for Friday.
